Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
1.4.x JVM doesn't auto set up the title for FileDialog without specifing a title string.
We don't want to specify the String: "Open" or "Save", because of the locolization issue. Say, if we specified "Open", how about French, Japanese, or Chinese, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
FileDialog aFileDialog = new FileDialog(aFrame);
aFileDialog.setMode(m_mode); //0 for open, 1 for save
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1.3 and early JVM will auto set up the title. 1.4.x and up doesn't set up the title of the FileDialog.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Just popup a FileDialog.

No title for FileDialog without specifing a title for FileDialog.
We don't want to specify the String: "Open" or "Save", because of the locolization issue. Say, if we specified "Open", how about French, Japanese, or Chinese, etc.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.*;

public class DisplayFileDialog {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // no need to handle window-closing operations
    // because the frame is not visible, only the dialog

    Frame f = new Frame();
    FileDialog d = new FileDialog(f);
    d.setMode(0);
    d.setVisible(true);
    String selectedItem = d.getFile();
    if (selectedItem == null)
      selectedItem = "No file selection.";
    System.out.println("You selected: " + selectedItem);
    f.dispose();
    System.exit(0);
  }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------
